The twilight is approaching,
The night is approaching,
Let us ask God for help
and for protection
From evil spirits,
Who in darkness practise
Their cunning most.
Andrzej Trzecieski [Andreas Trecesius]
(1525-1584),
Polish humanist and poet
Quoted in At Day's Close: Night in Times Past
by A. Roger Ekirch (2005)
